Fans to Face Steeper Costs for Final Pakistan-Sri Lanka ODI

Cricket enthusiasts will face steeper costs for the final One-Day International between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, with ticket prices across all enclosures set to rise significantly for the concluding match of the series.

According to a report today, the sale of tickets for the three-match series, scheduled to be held entirely at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, will commence online at 12pm on Tuesday, 4 November. Spectators can make their purchases through the official portal, pcb.tcs.com.pk.

All three ODIs are slated to be played in Rawalpindi on 11, 13, and 15 November.

For the initial two contests on 11 and 13 November, passes for the General enclosures, named after Miran Bakhsh and Sohail Tanvir, are priced at PKR 200. However, for the third and final ODI on Saturday, 15 November, the cost for these seats will increase to PKR 300.

A similar pricing structure applies to higher-tier seating. First-Class enclosure tickets (Shoaib Akhtar, Yasir Arafat) will cost PKR 300 for the first two games and PKR 400 for the final. Premium stand seats (Azhar Mahmood, Javed Miandad) are set at PKR 400, rising to PKR 500 for the last match.

Tickets for the VIP enclosures (Imran Khan, Javed Akhtar) will be available for PKR 500 for the opening two fixtures and will climb to PKR 600 for the series finale. Seats in the PCB Gallery will see a price jump from PKR 700 to PKR 850 for the last match.

The most substantial price surge will be for the box seats. Platinum Box tickets will increase from PKR 8,000 to PKR 12,000 for the third ODI, while Far-End Box seating will rise from PKR 6,000 to PKR 8,000.

An announcement regarding the sale of physical tickets at TCS Express Centres will be made in due course. Hospitality boxes for the series are also on offer, with interested parties advised to contact the PCB head office for more information.
